Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP), Hong Kong’s biggest developer by market capitalisation, reported its underlying profit for the year ending June rose 4.6 per cent to HK$22.85 billion (US$2.91 billion), excluding investment property revaluations.

Meanwhile, its reported profit increased to HK$21.43 billion, backed by a HK$1.38 billion net revaluation gain versus a HK$742 million loss last year, according to its filing with the Hong Kong stock exchange on Thursday.

“For the year under review, Hong Kong’s residential property market continued its recovery, underpinned by improved economic conditions, an active financial market, and a relatively accommodative interest rate environment,” said Raymond Kwok Ping-luen, the company’s chairman and managing director, in the filing.

“The sustained inflow of talent and students contributed to a steady rise in residential rents, reinforcing homebuyers’ confidence,” Kwok said. “Primary residential projects with premium amenities and convenient transport links continued to receive encouraging sales responses.”
